I hear we are after Modric now.

Makes you think what our scouts are doing, probably watching a website identifying players.

Of all the quality players that are out there, once again we go after someone that even my 10 year old would know.

So Manchester United one of the best clubs in the world, goes after one of the well known players and what exactly is wrong with that?

REDFAITH

He's a good CM, proven in the league and in Europe to an extent. I'd quite like to see us sign him. Wouldn't have minded strootman either

In a summer where thiago, isco, van ginkel, strootman etc have all been available we waste over a month on fabergas who is not available. If we had been serious about fabergas why did we not buy him at the start of the window before thiago moved to bayern. If we had tried then, maybe Barcelona would have let him leave.

The way this summer is going, we are likely to lose one of our most gifted, hardest working and marketable players and get very little in return. WHAT IS GOING ON?

Agree 100%

REDFAITH there is nothing wrong with going after a well known player the problem comes when you go for a well known player that you have no chance of getting i.e. Modric so we waste another 3 weeks going for him and guess what we sign no one

Cue Kloot saying "Oh did I not say we would do exactly this and not buy a decent midfielder"

Why is there no chance of Modric Pardoe?

7.) 10 Aug 2013
He doesn't want to come plus Real don't want to sell him or maybe its just Ancellotti

8.) 10 Aug 2013
Well you covered all bases there Pardoe lol.

I said modric and bale a few weeks back. I stand by this as what we need to be where we should be, this season.

Modric straight buy. Bale cash plus player(s).

The money is there, the interest is there, Mr Woodward, pull your finger out and broker these deals and earn you salary.

Oh and give Adnan a new bumper deal, NOW!

After failing with a modric bid, we will turn our attention to david silva and sergio aguero. Two of the leagues most established players, and the worlds least likely team sell to us, thus guaranteeing the transfer window closes before any deals reach "advanced" stages.
yawn.
